ISSA To Release AOR Classics Vol.1
May 30, 2012, 12 years ago
Norwegian melodic rock star ISSA is busy recording a very special album, called AOR Classics Vol.1. Born after a concept that Frontiers Records President Serafino Perugino had in mind for some time, Issa will sing on a number of well known and hidden melodic rock / AOR classics which have been arranged and produced for her by Alessandro Del Vecchio (HARDLINE, EDGE OF FOREVER).
Issa says: "Serafino selected some very much loved melodic rock songs of all time, some of them cult songs and others that are more well known. I just can't wait to put my stamp on them, as all these songs were performed by male vocalists and had to be raised to fit my higher octave range. This will make them different from the original versions but we are still embracing the real quality songwriting involved in this collection of classics. My personal favourites so far are 'I Won't Surrender' originally recorded by TOWER CITY, 'State Of Love' by MARK FREE and 'Dream On' by BOULEVARD, but I love all of them to be honest. The vocalists on the original songs are just amazing and I'm loving the challenge of capturing my own versions of them. I really hope the fans love this record as much as I do!"
The album will also include songs originally performed by the likes of 21 GUNS, REGATTA, AVIATOR, TANGIER among others. The new recording will be hopefully released during the fall of 2012.
